Knowledge can be taught in a classroom whereas wisdom is gained from the experience of life itself.

Art for me plays the role of expression. From painted art, to poetry, archeticture, and so on it is all a creation of our expressions, our thoughts, and our feelings. It also plays a role in human being's quest for immortality.

The most I have ever felt free is when i've been in the middle of the ocean! Watching the sunset and there's no land in sight... nothing but you and the horizon... a place where anything is possible! Star gazing w/ absolutely no other lights around. Free to roam and imagine greater things possible. Like having a blank canvas ready for painting!

Chastised by life's
comings and goings.
A river of bills and burdens
keep the currents of life's under towing.
Meditation and humbleness
keeps hope and faith afloat.
Yet, the obstacles to be endured
feels as if there are hands
gripped at your throat.
Bowed head and on bended knees
you plea....
God please shed your grace on me.
Angels, angels everywhere
please keep my temple from despair.
Surrounding light enfolds your thoughts.
You're held with relief
at being caught.
Catching your fall
the angels truly do
embrace you with love as long
as your heart subdues.
Thankful for such the enlightened release.
Unmistakable tides to be ceased.
Give of yourself
to the flow of the currents.
Have faith in the lessons
in all of life's events.
We are all riding the roller-coaster
of life.
Drink of its adrenaline and
allow yourself to be enticed.

I feel most creative when I am strongly inspired by "something", and it could be anything from watching the sunrise to listening to waves crashing.
I would have to say that in my line of work I am constantly having to be creative. Finding new ways to teach, counsel, and/ or interact with others in ways that stimulate and grabs their attention so as to have them want to learn.
What helps me to tap into this creative force... music! I find that for me my greatest ideas have come to me while listening to music... all different types of music gets me!

Close the door, sit down, and
shut your eyes.
Let me take you on a journey
of childlike surprise.
Can you smell the sweetness
of candy in the air?
Can you see the animal shapes
of the clouds in the atmosphere?
Rolling hills made of marshmellows;
Fluffy and white.
Sliding and bouncing...
children's laughter...
what a pleasant delight.
Play says the child
holding a rainbow in her hand.
Dance says the little boy
building castles in the sand.
Unleash the child that longs to
sing in the rain.
Paint your home the colors of the insane.
Laugh as loud as you can at
the burdens of a day.
And always, if nothing else
always take the time to play!

I have a very wild and crazy imagination that runs with just about everything! In my work my creative imagination does wonders with assignments and new projects to help women feel empowered, when out and about i"it" loves to play and make light of situations,but in being completely honest the best use of my imagination would be in making love.

I sit here with this question staring back at me and memories overflowing of those "almost" moments, but I don't think I can honestly say that i've ever felt "Unconditionally" accepted. There has always been some expectation wether it's from myself or someone else. This is a wonderful reflections question! One of the 1st moments I thought of when hearing unconditional is the love from a puppy or dog which would be the closest I have been to that type of acceptance. This is definately something i'll need to work on more within myself! Thank You!

The golden thread held
onto from this generation and beyond.
She has seeped her breath
as quickly as the sunset of day.
Urgent waves rush in tides of amber
I seek, I sought, I find
nothing in completeness.
Like puzzle pieces scattered
running around like mice.
In the distance...
vibrations of light dance beyond my grasp.
Desperately searching for
my entryway
Eyes wide shut I hear nothing,
and everything at once.
Depth,
falling deeper and deeper
into, out of, over, under,
and back again.
I emerge...
I unlock the clouds
that have shadowed my window.
A child...
A caterpillar...
A butterfly...
Transform,
laughter in the eyes,
silence in the ears, and
songs from the heart.

What is your relationship to apology?

I think an apology is part of the beginning stages of healing for both parties! If you mess up, fess up and apologize! It's a huge part of learning, growing, and it shows character! It's not always easy owning up, but release is always better than holding it!
